First Krones subsidiary abroad awarded globally recognised TÜV certificate

The Krones plant in Brazil, Krones do Brasil Ltda., has been successfully certified by the German technical inspectorate TÜV SÜD. It is thus the first Krones plant abroad to have been awarded the TÜV certification.

In March 2013, TÜV SÜD handed over the initial certification, in the form of an IMS certificate extended to cover quality (DIN EN ISO 9001), environmental protection (DIN EN ISO 14001) and occupational safety (BS OHSAS 18001) to Jens Hoyer, the Managing Director of Krones do Brasil. By introducing a quality, environmental and occupational safety management system at the LCS Center in Brazil, Krones AG, Neutraubling, Germany, is demonstrating the purposeful progressing of its management systems, unveiled and launched in 2009, not only for the German facilities, but as a kick-off for Brazil too.

Other Krones facilities abroad, e.g. in China and the USA, are scheduled to follow or are already involved in the certification process.
